Current and incoming students can apply for Fall Semester scholarships until March 31.
WDTC offers full-ride Build Dakota Scholarships for students enrolling in one of 21 eligible programs. Additionally, the Western Dakota Tech (WDT) Foundation provides a wide range of scholarships, both program-specific and general.
“Future and current students should take advantage of the great scholarships we offer,” said Andrew Kapelewski, WDTC Assistant Director of Scholarships. “WDTC prepares students for high-demand, well-paying careers, and scholarships can help students earn their education at the lowest possible cost.”
Applying for scholarships at WDTC is simple. There are only two applications: one for the Build Dakota Scholarship (wdt.edu/BuildDakota) and a universal WDT Foundation Scholarship application (wdt.edu/Scholarships). With the universal application, students are automatically considered for multiple scholarships, increasing their chances of receiving financial assistance.
